Butane is from the family of alkanes with –ane as its family name. The but- prefix stands for having four carbon atoms. The C4H10 is the general formula of butane and can also represent other forms or structures of butane. However if the question asks for the molecular formula of butane, think of how many electrons it can share to the hydrogen atom. The carbon atom can share 4 and hydrogen 1.  So if the three hydrogen atoms are attached to the first carbon, the other shared electron is attached to the second carbon. The second carbon atom can accommodate two hydrogen and 1 carbon. The third carbon can accommodate 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 carbon and the fourth carbon can accommodate 3 hydrogen atoms. The molecular formula is CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3.

What is the molarity of 392 mL of solution that contains 0.47 mol NaCl?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer: 1.2 M

Explanation:

Given that:

volume of NaCl = 392 mL

Convert volume in milliliters to liters

(since 1000 mL = 1L

392 mL = 392/10000 = 0.392 L)

Concentration of NaCl = ?

Amount of moles of NaCl = 0.47 moles

Recall that the concentration of a solution depends on the amount of solute dissolved in a particular volume of solvent.

I.e Concentration in mol/L =

Amount in moles / Volume in liters

= 0.47 moles / 0.392 L

= 1.199 mol/L (Round up to the nearest tenth as 1.2 M)

Note that molarity is the same as concentration in moles per litres.

Thus, the molarity of 392 mL of solution that contains 0.47 mol NaCl is 1.2 M
